I remember posting in /r9k/ in the first couple weeks of its existence. Such an interesting idea, and those early days had some cool threads. Shame it turned into what it is now.

are you english
do you remember kingneet?
>>3923
then you're probably not actually an oldfag. because the good /r9k/ went to shit and was deleted, it didn't turn into anything. the current one is a completely new incarnation (hence the 9001 in the board title).
>>3990
I'm pretty sure the /r9k/ I remember was the original, because the robot was active then, and people were acting like it was a totally new idea. Admittedly I left after the first couple weeks and never really checked up on it until it made the news for that school shooting years later.
Look at this man
who /2007/ in here

Remember when 4chan's DNS server failed and the only way to access the site for about a week was to modify your hosts file?
So people who were connected to outside IRC channels and other *chan boards knew how to get in, but the plebians were kept out?
Those were good days. Probably the best post quality I've ever seen on 4chan.

Remember when /a/ got massively fucked up and there was literally only one person on the entire board that could post.
Everyone in green-oval (or the archive before, the name escapes me) was cheering them on finding them post in different threads all along with no other new posts happening.
Good times.

Sometimes I feel like digging through the various archives to try to find Future Bro's posts and other stuff I remember fondly of, but I'm afraid that after rereading it I'd find it shit and ruin my happy memories of those threads.

Remember what ghost posting was like before most people knew about it? I remember ghost posting on /a/ when 4chan was down, it was so nice. Just a small bunch of people with nothing better to do than to chat with each other while waiting for the site to come back up. I remember it happening several times and not even really minding that the board was down.
But then one time some asshole managed to make a post while everything was frozen and he linked the archive. The whole place was flooded with shitposting and was never useable again.

Ghostposting was maximum comfy back when servers kept going down every other day from mysquirrel errors.
By no means the oldes memory, but one I really enjoyed was the coloured sqare "virus" we had, i believe, towards the beginning of 2010 (?). It was a really simple concept and amazingly effective. Basically a computer virus spread by idiocy. Ever since we have that stupid "detected malicious code in your image" bullshit and it also killed book cover threads since hidden archives weren't allowed anymore.
Remember when anonymous stopped being cool?

good old .hta-chan
I thought I had some pictures of her saved but they must be on my laptop.
2006 here
had a nice stay in the habbo hotel back then
>>4288
i remember when /v/ went down we would go to the text boards, that would be pretty comfy too
Tail end of 2005-2006, here, or whenever it was that Gaston started getting big. Used to be a drawhore on /b/ before it got super cancerous.

Anonymous was never cool.
